Stimson and Knox Hearings ‘Will Open Tomorrow ol

Congress" as Adjournment Becomes Issue; ‘Army Expansion Plan Awaited. WASHINGTON, July 1 (U. P.).—Congress reconvened today after a week recess to plunge again into multi-billion-

dollar defense legislation and to begin what may become an historic debate of the Administration’s foreign policy.

Major event of this week"

will ‘be hearings by Senate . committees on the nominations of Henry L. Stimson and ~ Frank Knox to be Secretaries of War and Navy, respectiveIvy :

_ Although the nominations are

‘to be confirmed, opponents air the nominees’ views on for- ; eign policy and seek to make them an issue for full-dress debate on President Roosevelt's policy of “short of war” aid to the Allies. + Mr. Roosevelt's surprise Republican nominees will appear before Senate committees tomorrow —Stimson before the Senate Military Affairs Committee and Knox before the Naval Affairs Committee.

‘Wheeler Denounces Both Senator Burton XK. Wheeler (D.

~ Mont.) opened the campaign against

Knox: and Stimson last night in Chicago. In a radio address at a

mass meeting there he denounced

both nominees as “war mongers” ~ and said that if there must be a coalition cabinet, “let it be a coali-

~. ‘tion of peace makere—not war

makers.” ; “The important thing to remember is that both these gentlemen are publicly-avowed proponents of American intervention,” said Wheeler, who has threatened to bolt his party if it becomes a “war . party.” : Major legislation confronting Congress is a bill authorizing 70 per cent expansion of the Navy at an estimated cost of .$4,000,000,000. Approved by the House, it is expected to be taken up. by the Senate after action on a bill to revise the financial structure of . Boulder Dam.

Army Expansion Program Due

Later this week, President Roosevelt is expected to submit to Congress a program for the Army to match the Navy bill. It will authorize gg long-range plan for - meéchanizing the Army. Preliminary unofficial imates place its cost at $5,000,000,000 or more. As Congress reconvened there was a revival of talk about-adjourn-‘ntent by Aug. 1. Such a plan will be opposed by a bi-partisan group that believes Congress should remain on the job throughout the ‘international emergency. ‘No agreement on adjournment has -been reached—a recess will be taken during the Democratic Convention beginning July 15—but party leaders believe that all pending legislation, including the Naval expansion and projected - Army mechanization bills, the LoganWalter bill and final action in the House: on the ; Hatch--“clean state politics” bill, can -be- accomplished by Aug. 1.
